In China`s Shadow: The Crisis of American Entrepreneurship (The Future of American Democracy Series)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book begins with an eye-opening exploration of the rise of China’s economy and an assessment of its potential for further rapid growth. The implications of China’s new power are nothing short of profound, Reed Hundt contends. In China`s Shadow A proceeds to paint a detailed landscape of the new reality confronting American businesses and citizens. For the first time in over one hundred years, Americans face critical challenges toA their economy and way of lifeA owing not onlyA to China’s impending economic might but also to the drift of U.S. business practices and government regulations over the past decade. Aiming for a respectable defeat in the competition of nations will imperil not only the American Dream of an ever-increasing standard of living but also the American project itself, Hundt warns. Meeting the foreseeable challenges is not a matter of legislative strategy from the political left or right or prescriptive plans for businesses. The… [detailed...]

Truman Capote
In Cold Blood

2007 y.
Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd.
Description: Controversial and compelling, `In Cold Blood` reconstructs the murder in 1959 of a Kansas farmer, his wife and both their children. Truman Capote`s comprehensive study of the killings and subsequent investigation explores the circumstances surrounding this terrible crime and the effect it had on those involved. At the centre of his study are the amoral young killers Perry Smith and Dick Hickcock, who, vividly drawn by Capote, are shown to be reprehensible yet entirely and frighteningly human. The book that made Capote`s name, In Cold Blood is a seminal work of modern prose, a remarkable synthesis of journalistic skill and powerfully evocative narrative. Формат: 13 см x 20 см.

Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionFrom the chaotic world of music journalism comes this collection of unabridged, unexpurgated interviews with four of the brightest, most influential and complex pop and rock musicians alive: Gene Simmons of Kiss, Peter Hook of New Order, Jerry Casale of Devo, and Scott Thunes of Frank Zappa fame. They are all bass players and they are all plainspoken, profane, stressed out, caustic, antagonistic and on occasion so belligerent they are prepared to engage in psychological warfare with theirinterviewer. Each interview is illustrated with striking, often candid photographs, and includes an introduction and a postscript. `…the ultimate reason I liked this book was because of the very interesting circumstances of the interviews themselves. These people are almost impossible to get a hold of, let alone interview.` - YourFlesh [detailed...]

In Defense Of The Economic Analysis Of Regulation

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionSeveral scholars are highly skeptical of the use of cost-benefit analysis and other economic tools in regulatory decision making. Recently, these critics have focused on debunking economic summaries of regulatory activity, sometimes referred to as regulatory scorecards. The critics generally support less quantitative economic analysis of regulations. This monograph addresses the analytical concerns raised by the critics. It makes four points: First, summary measures of the impact of regulations have made important contributions to our understanding of the regulatory process, a point often overlooked by the critics, second, many of the critics? concerns could be addressed by making refinements to scorecards rather than wholly rejecting them as an analytical tool, third, some of the suggestions made by the critics are legitimate but many are not, and finally, the solution to legitimate concerns raised by the critics is not to eliminate quantitative economic… [detailed...]

In Defense of Free Capital Markets: The Case Against a New International Financial Architecture

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Because of the remarkable number of currency and emerging market meltdowns during the 1990s? from the Mexican peso crisis to the collapse of the Asian markets to the Russian devaluation of the ruble? the free market system faces the prospect oftighter global regulation. David DeRosa makes a compelling case that less, not more regulation is vitally needed, that public policies often have been dead wrong in concept and application, that so-called controls generate indirect and unintended harmfulconsequences, and that aggressive intervention is no panacea. When confronted with a financial crisis, many leaders prefer to indict the international financial system rather than admit to policy blunders that may be of their own making. This book analyses the economic conditions that produced a number of recent financial crises. It also investigates the responses made to each crisis, to uncover whether government policies directed at these episodes of turmoil made matters better or… [detailed...]

Description: The riot-torn meeting of the World Trade Organization in Seattle in 1999 was only the most dramatic sign of the intensely passionate debate now raging over globalization, which critics blame for everything from child labor to environmental degradation, cultural homogenization, and a host of other ills afflicting poorer nations. Now Jagdish Bhagwati, the internationally renowned economist known equally for the clarity of his arguments and the sharpness of his pen, takes on the critics, revealing that globalization, when properly governed, is in fact the most powerful force for social good in the world today. Drawing on his unparalleled knowledge of international and development economics, Bhagwati explains why the `gotcha` examples of the critics are often not as they seem, and that in fact globalization often alleviates many of the problems for which it has been blamed. For example, the author describes how globalization helps the cause of women around the world, how… [detailed...]

The Just Third Way is a holistic program developed by the interfaith Center for Economic and Social Justice (`CESJ`) in Arlington, Virginia, USA, in response to the growing disparities of wealth and the failure of today`s institutions to meet people`s wants and needs in a manner consistent with their essential dignity as human beings. Analyzing the applications of natural law as expressed in Catholic social teaching, the articles demonstrate the universality of the principles underpinning the Just Third Way from the perspective of that particular faith tradition.

An extraordinary period straddling the 19th and 20th centuries, Barcelona`s brand of Art Nouveau wascharacterized by organic shapes and patterns integrated by all aspects of art and design.
